About this trial
With the cardiopulmonary exercise testing as the primary outcome, the study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Qishen Granules on cardiac function, quality of life and biomarker level of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which will provide evidence for the treatment of HFpEF with traditional Chinese medicine.
